NAME

SYNOPSIS

mdir [-w] msdosdirectory

mdir [-w] msdosfile [msdosfile...]

OPTIONS

Specifies wide output. Enables file names to be displayed
across the page without displaying the file size or creation date.

DESCRIPTION

The
mdir
command lists the
contents of a DOS directory. Unlike the DOS convention, multiple arguments
are supported. If the component of the path is not a directory, an error occurs.
The
mdir
command assumes a new disk if the current path
held in the
.mcwd
file is invalid.

DOS subdirectory names that contain the
'/'
or
'\'
separator are supported. If you use the
'\'
separator or wildcards, you must enclose file names in quotes to protect them
from the shell.

The
mcd
command can be used to establish the device
and the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default
is
A:\.

RESTRICTIONS

The
mdir
command does not support the
/P
(pause) option.

EXIT STATUS

The following exit values are returned:
Success.
Failure.
